The Modern Office Standards, Poland Guide, 2016 has been written and produced by Rolfe Judd Architecture and CBRE. Both companies are international businesses with substantial experience in the procurement, design, letting and management of office buildings. In addition, they also have substantial practices in Poland and are involved in the development of a number of major projects with many of Poland’s key office developers. The purpose of this Guide is to provide a benchmark standard for office space in the fast developing Polish office market. The ability to assess the class of any office building is of great value for all the market players - developers, funds, tenants, agents and designers. We believe that this Guide provides a definitive and comprehensive assessment of best practice in terms of office design, procurement, efficiency and occupational standards for the benefit of all participants within the industry. There are 20 key criteria for determining office quality standards. 12 of these criteria are treated as obligatory (OB), as they comprise non-negotiable fundamentals in good office design. The other 8 criteria are treated as additional options for achieving a particular classification (AD). The absence of two or three of the additional criteria may not necessarily preclude a building from achieving an A-class rating. There are also lower class measures for B and C ratings. There has been some discussion surrounding a classification split between the major cities such as Warsaw and the secondary and tertiary cities. In order to compete with Warsaw as well as other regional hubs in Europe, the opportunity for a comparison of buildings’ standards is invaluable. We are therefore of the opinion that the classifications should be applied equally across all markets with the aim of creating a more level playing field, consequently attracting world class tenants and investors to look further afield. The Guide, originally published in September 2009 and re-published in 2010, has proven to be a popular tool within developers, consultants, occupiers and investors alike. It has facilitated many design processes, assisted in the understanding of the requirements of a particular standard and determined many briefs, specifications and costs of a particular building type. The tool is particularly helpful for controlling cost and quality as the outline specification can be agreed early on in the planning process. Many elements such as technology, users’ expectations, investors’ awareness and attitudes have evolved over the last five years and significantly impacted on the understanding of the building classes. This Guide is part of an ongoing process and will be further developed. You are welcome to contact us if you would like to discuss any aspect of the MOSP Guide. © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 5 COMPANY PROFILES CBRE is the world's largest commercial real estate services firm.

In many countries a 1500mm grid is considered ideal as it works for office dimensions, car parking and common building material sizes. In Poland however a grid of 1350mm appears to work most effectively, giving an 8.1m structural grid. The facade design should enable the erection of a partition at every 1.35m. It affords occupiers the ability to install cellular offices of 2.7m wide by 5.4m deep. It works efficiently with the Polish car park space size (which must be free of all column incursions), works with many building component sizes and is efficient for both steel and concrete structural frame span limitations. It should be noted that it is not always possible to design an 8.1m grid. Sometimes, on difficult inner-city plots or on plots with extraordinary conditions other grid layouts might be more suitable and also achieve the standard. 18 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd INTERNAL LAYOUT AND GRID SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO ALLOW MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY IN CREATING THE OFFICE AND PARKING SPACE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE TRANSFER STRUCTURES.

B) OFFICE EFFICIENCY Economically planned offices benefit both the developer and the tenant; the more efficient the net to gross ratio the lower the cost per m2 of net area. A low rise, efficient office building is considered to be one with a net to gross exceeding 85%; anything over 80% is usually considered acceptable, anything below is usually not, unless there are special circumstances. Tower buildings frequently achieve lower net to gross A LOW RISE, EFFICIENT OFFICE BUILDING IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE WITH A NET TO GROSS EXCEEDING 85% ratios especially on the lower floor levels where structural components and lift shaft members become space hungry. Efficiency in these buildings usually varies between 70 - 80 %. Net and Gross Area definitions varies between different measuring systems, that are used across the market. Developers use various measuring systems, thus it is difficult to compare buildings developed by different developers. Usually net area is everything that can be leased: office space, corridors, toilets, retail space etc. Please refer to Section C to find more considerations of the area measurement methods (The above figures / % mentioned in this paragraph are based on RICS measurement method). Efficiency is one of the factors creating flexible office space. Efficiently designed services easily allowing for multi-tenant occupation are desirable. 20 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd OFFICE FLOOR PLATE EFFICIENCY MA X4 0m X4 0m MA CORE CORE AREA AREA MA X4 0m 0m X4 MA • Maximum Escape Travel Distance 40m • When the internal arrangement is not known 80% of this distance should be used • Net: Gross about 85% RECOMMENDATION • Achieve maximum % net to gross ratio for particular type of the building. • Allow at least 13m3 volume of free space per person and 2m2 area of free space per person. (*2) • For offices lower than 3m from floor to ceiling allow at least 15m3 volume of free space per person C) OCCUPANCY LEVELS Typical office occupancy levels range from 6 - 7m2 per person. It is recommended that all office buildings are designed to allow for 1 person per 7m2 in the design of all building services. A word of warning however; if it is intended that the building should cater for call centre occupation, trading facilities or other high density uses then densities of 1 person per 5m2 may be reached and should be catered for. © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 21 D) CIRCULATION Statutory requirements - it is common practice to provide office circulation corridors wider than that required for fire escape provision. RECOMMENDATION Means of escape: • 5m2 per person (for calculation if office internal layout is not provided) (*1) • Escape route minimum clear width 1.4m / 0.6m per every 100 people (counted proportionally) (*1) • Escape door minimum clear width 0.9m / 0.6m per every 100 people (counted proportionally) (*1) • Stairs flight minimum clear width 1.2m / 0.6 m per every 100 people (counted proportionally) (*1) • Means of escape is usually the driving factor to achieve optimum size / layout of the floor space Banking And Financial Centre Nowy Swiat, Golub Gethouse Warsaw 22 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd PLAC ZAMKOWY BUSINESS WITH HERITAGE SENATORSKA INVESTMENT WARSAW © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 23 B3 LOBBY/RECEPTION (OB) A) LOBBY DESIGN Lobbies or central reception spaces are important elements of high class office buildings. They form the first impression for visitors. They must be well designed, well lit, be obvious from the outside and welcoming. The provision of facilities within reception area will greatly depend on the building's size. They may be linked to a building's other facilities. There is no simple recipe as to how a reception area should be designed. It depends on many factors such as location and size of the building, its class, number of entrances, etc. Quality of finish is an important aspect of these considerations. The main lobby or reception combined with the BMS room, common ground floor WCs, backrooms etc. should have an appropriate size according to the building's layout but not exceeding 5 - 6% of the building's net area. This space is defined as a part of the 'Add-on Factor'. 24 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd LOBBIES OR CENTRAL RECEPTION SPACES ARE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF HIGH CLASS OFFICE BUILDINGS. THEY FORM THE FIRST IMPRESSION FOR VISITORS. B) CONCIERGE SERVICES / 24 HOUR SECURITY It is expected that Class A quality offices should have the facility to house 24 hour security. This will require security staff room facilities to be provided in addition to the usual back of house facilities. RECOMMENDATION • Well-designed reception space and facilities suitable for the particular building type. • 24 hour secured access. • Reception space designed to provide good access control at the entrance level and to properly organize people's flow. 25 DOMINIKANSKI SKANSKA WROCLAW 26 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 27 B4 COMMON PROVISION (OB) A) CORE LAYOUT The design of an efficient core is important for every office building. Each layout will vary according to the building plan but the design objectives remain constant. • To provide an easy to use of lift, tolilets and service core layout • To minimise common parts areas whilst achieving maximum space standards and comfort levels • To provide well designed, attractive and robust common parts services that will elegantly and reliably serve the building for 15 - 20 years • Quality finishes • Easy access to the staircase for movement between the nearest levels RECOMMENDATION Toilet Provision – minimum recommended standards: 28 • 1 washbasin for every 20 people (*1) • If number of people is fewer than 10, toilet may be unisex (*1) • 1 WC for every 20 women (*1) • Maximum travel distance to sanitary accommodation not exceeding 75m • 1 WC plus 1 urinal for every 30 men (*1) • 1 cubicle for ambulant disabled (*1) • Compact core arrangement • Cleaner’s cupboard at each floor • A minimal additional corridor access for multi tenanted arrangements © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd (50m for disabled) CELLULAR OFFICE LAYOUT EXAMPLE CORE LAYOUT WITH TENANT DEDICATED TOILETS TENANT 1 MALE SERVICE AREA FEMALE OPEN SPACE OFFICE LAYOUT COMMON AREA LIFT LOBBY MALE GOODS LIFT FEMALE TENANT 2 Mechanical Services Risers To Facilitate Transition of Ducts into ceiling Void Toilet Recess to Improve Privacy Duplication of Tenants Electrical/Data Riser to Provide for Mulitple Tenancy CELLULAR OFFICE LAYOUT EXAMPLE CORE LAYOUT WITH COMMON TOILETS TENANT 1 OPEN SPACE OFFICE LAYOUT GOODS LIFT COMMON AREA LIFT LOBBY SERVICE AREA FEMALE CIRCULATION AREA CLEANERS CPB MALE TENANT 2 Duplication of Tenants Electrical/Data Riser to Provide for Mulitple Tenancy Toilet Recess to Improve Privacy Mechanical Services Risers To Facilitate Transition of Ducts into ceiling Void 29 29 HOWICK PLACE TERRACE HILL LONDON ROLFE JUDD B5 CAR PARKS AND SERVICING (OB) Many elements have an influence on car park provision. The number of car park spaces might be dependent on the site's location its size or Zoning Plan requirements. In city centres limited car parking spaces number is usually provided due to good provision of public transport and local environmental policy. Sustainability issues and the resultant local plan restrictions increasingly often provide maximum limits on car park spaces allowed rather than minimum required. In situations when sufficient amount of car park spaces is not possible to be provided other solutions should be found (like stackers etc.). Office buildings which aim to achieve quality class A should be provided with secured, covered or sheltered car park spaces and bicycle racks, meeting the BREEAM / LEED / Other certification requirements. Charging places for electrical cars also should be provided. 32 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd THE NUMBER OF CAR PARK SPACES MIGHT BE DEPENDENT ON THE SITE'S LOCATION ITS SIZE OR ZONING PLAN REQUIREMENTS. A) CAR PARKING STANDARDS PARKING BAY MINIMUM SIZE (*1) • 2.3 x 5.0m (min. 0.5m between wall/column and car side) • min. 1.2m access along one side of the car for disabled parking bay INTERNAL CAR PARK ROADS WIDTH (*1) SHALL BE MINIMUM • 5.7m when parking spaces are located perpendicular (head-on) • 5.0m when parking spaces are located perpendicular (head-on) but 2.5m wide parking bay is required • 4.0m when parking spaces are aligned at an angle less than 60° • 3.5m when parking spaces are aligned at an angle less than 45° • 3.0m when parking spaces are located parallel CAR PARK CLEAR HEIGHT (*1) • 2.2m measured to structural elements (e.g. beams, downstands) • 2.0m measured to the bottom of service equipment It should be noted that 2.2m is a minimum height for escape purposes with local lowering not longer than 1.5m. For other vehicles (commercial, public services) shall not be lower than: • 2.7m clear (depends of height of service vehicles accessing car park level) CAR RAMP (*1) Minimum width: • 5.5m 2-way traffic • 2.7m single-way traffic Adequate ramp gradient should be provided Warsaw Financial Center, Allianz Real Estate, Tristan Capital Partners, Warsaw © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 33 CARNABY COURT SHAFTESBURY CARNABY LTD LONDON ROLFE JUDD 34 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd It is a good practice to provide heating cables to the first ramp to the carpark (even though it is located inside the building or is covered) VENTILATION (*1) • natural ventilation is most efficient and therefore if possible should be used - in open-sided car park (openings minimum 35% of wall, maximum distance between opposite walls with openings of 100m) • mechanical ventilation controlled by carbon dioxide and butane/propane detectors (in underground or other enclosed car parks serving more than 10 cars) FIRE SAFETY (*1) Car park fire zone size, means of escape provision and connection between car park and building should be designed to meet Building Regulations requirements. CAR PARK LOADING • general 3.0 kN/m2. May vary if other vehicles will be allowed to access the car park. B) SERVICING PROVISION Access for commercial vehicles, Public Service Vehicles, Fire Tender Vehicle, Taxi drop-off points should be provided on-site or in car park. When bigger vehicles enter the car park: • the height should be no lower than 2.7m clear (depends of height of service vehicles accessing car park level) • deck above underground levels / on-site fire route should be design to carry Fire Tender Vehicle Loading 100kN/axle (3 axles). Fire Tender Vehicle requires 4.2m of clear height for passing through the covered passage / under the building. RECOMMENDATION • 10% of spaces for disabled is considered to be good practice • to provide taxi drop-off points and good access for commercial and public vehicles on site • to provide car parking for visitors • to provide cycle racks and motorbike spaces • to locate a city bike station in the building's proximity © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 35 B6 LIFT SERVICE (OB) Minimum lift provision to achieve a maximum waiting time of 30 seconds. RECOMMENDATION LIFTS SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE: • 80% loading • Passenger handling capacity: 15% of total building population in a 5 minute period, number of occupants calculation - 14m2 (NIA) per person minimum, subject to client occupancy requirements • Goods lift: consider for buildings over 5,000m2 provide for buildings over 10,000m2 consider second goods lift for buildings over 25 - 30,000m2 • At least one lift suitable for stretchers shall be provided (might be the goods lift if appropriate dimensions are allowed, and if this lift serves all of the floors) (*1) 36 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd B7 CEILINGS AND LIGHTING (OB) A) CEILINGS There are essentially three ceiling types for consideration; exposed, enclosed or suspended ceiling systems. Suspended ceilings of some type are traditional in Class A offices throughout Europe and North America. They provide a flat, light and regular ceiling plane. They usefully hide services and help control noise and light levels. Ceilings with services and structural grid exposed are becoming more common especially in high mass building types where the exposure of the structural floor soffit (often concrete) can be useful in helping control the internal environment. The ceiling finish and whether to install a suspended ceiling or not is a matter of design. Business Garden Vastint Warsaw SUSPENDED CELINGS USEFULLY HIDE SERVICES AND HELP CONTROL NOISE AND LIGHT LEVELS. KONSTRUKTORSKA BUSINESS CENTER HB REAVIS WARSAW 38 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd B) LIGHTING The lighting in the office should be both comfortable and efficient, increasing the productivity of the working environment. For lighting to provide both safety and comfort the following criteria described in Polish Standards must be fulfilled: • Illumination level • Uniformity • Luminance distribution • Glare reduction • Colour (temperature) and colour rendering • Blinking and stroboscope effect • Maintenance factor Avoiding high contrasts, light blinking and glare could reduce fatigue and discomfort of office staff. Illumination level depends on type of tasks. According to building regulations for general office use the maintained illuminance level shall not be less than 300 Lux, for computer based tasks not less than 500 Lux and in corridors not less than 100 Lux.(*4) In addition to fulfilling minimum levels of illumination on the working area, eg. desk surface the minimum lighting levels for the rest of the surface must be satisfied. Light sources give a wide range of colour impressions related to their colour temperature described in Kelvin degrees: • warm impression below 3000K • neutral colour impression 3300 - 5300K • cool colour impression above 5300K The higher the illumination level is, the higher temperature of light source shall be used. For the offices best colour temperature is 3000K or 4000K depending on whether warm or neutral lighting is required Colour rendering index (Ra) for office areas shall not be less than 0.8. © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 39 C) ENERGY CONSERVATION Energy conservation in lighting could be provided by introducing: • dimmable system • daylight control • motion detector for presence control • energy efficient light sources RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that office buildings are equipped with the most modern energy efficient lighting system. Lighting energy consumption is a vital factor in energy efficiency of the whole building. 40 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd Q22 ECHO INVESTMENT WARSAW B8 SMALL POWER (OB) Minimum recommended small power requirements are provided below. RECOMMENDATION Small Power Requirements (loading diversified) • Lighting: 10 - 15W/m2 • Office equipment and air conditioning: 50W/m2 Some spare ways at riser distribution boards shall also be provided 42 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd B9 SYSTEMS (OB) Class A buildings require a high degree of control to run efficiently and with flexibility to suit the requirements of a wide range of different tenants. A comprehensive Building Management System (BMS) is recommended as the best way to control the operation of the building functions. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended to install a BMS to control / monitor the following: • Internal environment - heating/ cooling/lighting in an easily zoned fashion • Central security control • Fire alarms and access for firemen at ground level • Overall energy efficiency BMS A COMPREHENSIVE BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS) IS RECOMMENDED AS THE BEST WAY TO CONTROL THE OPERATION OF THE BUILDING FUNCTIONS. © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 43 B10 STRUCTURED CABLING (OB) Cabling systems and requirements for IT services, power and lights are changing rapidly. In order to cater for a variety of systems buildings should be designed with maximum future flexibility. Because internal cabling within the office space is usually part of the fit-out package its category depends on tenants requirements. Building equipment should allow for maximum flexibility. RECOMMENDATION • BUILDING EQUIPMENT SHOULD ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY. Intake/frame rooms: some IT/telecoms providers will require dedicated rooms at the point of the services entry into the building (usually at basement level). Ideally access routes for external data cables should be separated by a minimum distance of 10m. • Allow for server rooms (to provide suitable slab loading capacity bearings for servers, IT and cooling equipment) 44 • Allow for telecoms risers which are separated from electrical risers and minimum two redundant risers. • Allow for flexible raised floor © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd B11 TENANTS' PLANT SPACE PROVISION (AD) Space is often required for tenants services at roof level or in the basement. This requirement is often greater in multi tenanted buildings where, for example, a number of tenants may require space for backup power generation, satellite or IT services. RECOMMENDATION Allow space for: • Satellite dishes • Additional cooling capacity (for separate tenant cooling system) • IT intake rooms at basement level • Tenants’ services in mechanical and electrical risers • Tenants’ power generator and UPS • Gas suppression system for IT rooms © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 45 NIMBUS IMMOFINANZ WARSAW 46 © 20162016 CBRE & Rolfe MOSP CBRE sp. Judd z o.o. - Rolfe Judd © B12 POWER SUPPLIES (OB) An alternative independent power supply is required for Class A office buildings. RECOMMENDATION Alternative power can be provided via the use of a generator unit or a second independent power supply from a different mains circuit from the primary supply. Standby generator provided for life safety systems (if required). Provision of space for tenants generators may vary according to the number of tenants to be accommodated and sharing of facilities. SPACE IS OFTEN REQUIRED FOR TENANTS SERVICES AT ROOF LEVEL OR IN THE BASEMENT 47 36 QUEEN STREET LONDON & ORIENTAL LONDON ROLFE JUDD 48 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 49 B13 FLOORS Provision of a raised floor with good access for services such as electrical and IT cabling is an essential requirement for a Class A office buildings. Raised floor types and depths vary greatly but certain types of raised floors have gained favour amongst tenants and developers for flexibility, economy and robustness. There are some other cheaper raised floors solutions, which allow for cabling provision. They are not as flexible (e.g. cast-in channels) but might be sufficient for some buildings. Sometimes, (e.g in refurbished buildings) when it is impossible to fit raised floors, the other solutions might be implemented. RECOMMENDATION • 120 - 150mm overall depth min 90mm clear access zone 300mm for deeper floors (18m + core to facade) 50 • 300mm - 500mm for sub-floor air conditioning • 500 or 600mm square metal floor tiles • Point loads of 3.0KN (over 25mm2) © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd (AD) PROVISION OF A RAISED FLOOR WITH GOOD ACCESS FOR SERVICES SUCH AS ELECTRICAL AND IT CABLING IS AN ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR A CLASS A OFFICE BUILDINGS B14 STRUCTURE (OB) Minimum recommended structural standards are provided below. RECOMMENDATION • A Slab Loadings • Live - general office areas 2,0-3,0 kN/m2 • Live - areas designed for higher loading such as server rooms, archives, etc. – 6,0kN/m2 • Partitions: 1.0kN/m2 Raised floors: 0.5kN/m2, ceilings and services: 0,4-0,5kN/m2 MOSP©_2016_CBRE sp. z o. o. & Rolfe Judd 51 THE TIDES SPÓŁKA THE TIDES WARSAW 52 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 53 B15 AMENITIES There is a growing expectation that an office building will meet a number of needs of all employees. Therefore, additional amenities will be required either on site or within easy walking distance in any building. Such facilities as listed below could be incorporated in larger buildings but their provision depends on the building's location. The selection of amenities within the building should be carefully considered as some of them may not be welcomed by tenants. • Cafe • Bank/ATM • Convenience store • Small supermarket • Restaurant / Canteen/ Bar • Kiosk • Services such as laundry, hairdresser or spa • Fitness and everything related (AD) THE SELECTION OF AMENITIES WITHIN THE BUILDING SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED AS SOME OF THEM MAY NOT BE WELCOMED BY TENANTS. RECOMMENDATION Good access to local amenities for lunch, convenience shopping/ banking etc. is a must. This may include facilities provided in the locality 54 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd GDANSKI BUSINESS CENTER II HB REAVIS WARSAW © 2016 RolfeJudd Judd MOSP 2016 © CBRE sp. zCBRE o.o. -&Rolfe 55 B16 DAYLIGHTING A) FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHT The ratio of floor to ceiling height is important for comfort levels within offices. The ratio affects lighting levels, as well as the feeling of space and airiness. In general the deeper office floor plan the greater floor to ceiling height is required. RECOMMENDATION (AD) THE RATIO OF FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHT IS IMPORTANT FOR COMFORT LEVELS WITHIN OFFICES. Ceiling height • Open plan minimum height 3.00m required under Polish law but lower heights can be achieved with a SANEPID relaxation *1. • Minimum height for Class A offices is 2.7m. B) WINDOW DESIGN AND DAYLIGHTING It is considered desirable to have full height floor to ceiling windows where possible on office facades to give a good distribution of light on to office floors. Smaller windows can be acceptable provided the minimum daylight levels are achieved. 40% glass as a percentage of facade area is considered a good guide to achieving minimum daylight levels. Windows should be designed to afford good light, and good uninterrupted views out. Large window frame sections and 56 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd transoms at eye level should be avoided. From the sustainability point of view, high performance glazed facades should be provided. Solar control must also be considered in terms of the building's orientation. External, internal or interstitial blinds may be required. Individual local control should be provided for the shading provision for each window. The greater the degree of control occupants have over their environment the happier they tend to be. From a psychological point of view, it is good practice to provide at least one openable window per 2.7m office grid, but this can conflict with sustainability aspects of the building. Openable windows can also cause lower performance of air conditioning and thus higher energy consumption. RECOMMENDATION • 1: window area to floor area ratio • Minimum 70% of the area to be located within 6m of a window CEILING HEIGHT TO PLAN DEPTH RELATION Max Pkan Depth = 2H - 2.5H Ceiling Height Standard: H= 3.0m Recommended minimum: H= 2.7m (with apostasy) D = 5.4m - 7.5m © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 57 B17 HEATING, COOLING AND VENTILATION (OB) Efficient, quiet and flexible heating cooling and ventilation systems are required for all Class A buildings. Flexibility in operation must be matched to any potential tenant subdivision. A 15 - 20 year life span is recommended for all key system components. A) MINIMUM/MAXIMUM INTERNAL TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS In the past there was an expectation to achieve approx. 22°C within offices space during the summer period. Research has revealed there is no need to over design services to maintain the standard 22°C as it is far too expensive and energy consuming. To achieve the requirements of designing a sustainable building without extensive cost there is a need to challenge our mentality and expectations regarding a building's internal environment. For design purposes temperatures 24 - 25°C for the summer period should be assumed. Additionally as a standard, individual temperature control in office rooms or in zones (in case of open plan offices) should be provided. B) INTERNAL HEAT GAINS - SMALL POWER • Office equipment (diversified load): 10 W/m2 • Risers / bus bars on floor distribution boards: 2% of installed power • Heat gains from Low Voltage Systems (security, fire detection, etc.) are so small that they are usually omitted 58 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd C) INTERNAL HEAT GAINS - IT SERVICES • Central server room: 30 kW • Local distribution points: 10 kW D) INTERNAL HEAT GAINS - LIGHTING • 5 - 10 W/m2 E) INTERNAL HEAT GAINS - OCCUPANTS • 150W per person RECOMMENDATION Heating Cooling & Ventilation Internal design temperatures: • Winter 20 - 21°C • Summer 24 - 25°C Mechanical Ventilation Rates • Minimum outside air 30m3 per hour per person (*8). Higher exchange creates better internal environment. It should be noted that best practice is typically set at a minimum level of 36m3 per hour per person. Humidity Control • Minimum 40% in winter, not controlled in summer 59 B18 NOISE (OB) The level of the noise (maximum and minimum) within office space is very important and has a big influence on comfort and employees' efficiency. MAX NOISE LEVELS (*7) • Work requiring concentration: 35 dB • Conference rooms, directors rooms: 40 dB • Office rooms – 2 - 4 people: 45 dB • Office rooms – Open space 50 dB RECOMMENDATION • To keep noise levels as low level as possible to increase the comfort of the office environment 60 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd B19 SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION (AD) A) OVERVIEW Whilst energy performance is seen as one of the key indicators of a sustainable building it is now accepted that a more holistic view of the design and construction of a building should be taken when considering its sustainability credentials. The issues that are generally considered include: • Health & Well Being • Energy • Transport • Materials • Waste • Water • Land Use and Ecology • Pollution • Innovation The two primary certifying schemes operational in Poland, LEED and BREEAM, both seek to reward developer behaviour that is better than that required by local or EU legislation. These schemes have therefore been adopted here to help in the classification of office buildings and reward those that are developed in a sustainable way. © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 61 B) LEED The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is a third - party certification program established by The US Green Buildings Council. LEED certification is now well established in Poland through the local Green Building Council www.plgbc.org.pl. This programme is a benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance "green" buildings, recognising performance in five key areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Buildings are granted scores and qualify LEED CERTIFICATION IS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED IN POLAND THROUGH THE LOCAL GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL WWW.BREEAM.ORG for one of four levels of certification: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. LEED system is presented in detail at www.usgbc.org. The program is continuously evolving, taking advantage of new technologies and advancements in building science while prioritizing energy efficiency and CO2 emissions reductions in the latest 3rd version. An office building which receives a LEED certificate typically has lower operating costs, secured asset value that avoids “brown stigma” and is healthier and safer for occupants, compared with a regular office building. As well as the building itself being certified during design and construction it is increasingly expected that the building will be managed according to sustainable criteria to protect its classification status. As such certification against Building Operations and Maintenance should now be expected for actively managed assets (see B20). 62 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd C) BREEAM The British Research Establishment or BRE has established the BREEAM Standards originally for the UK but now used throughout Europe and the Middle East. The BREEAM Standards for offices are simple means of assessing buildings on a whole range of environmental issues to arrive at one of a simple range of ratings: fair, good, very good and excellent. BREEAM provide full details of their standards on their web site www.breeam.org. They update the standards regularly and tie them into EU legislative targets and developments. With the aim of making the BREEAM CERTIFICATION IS ANOTHER VERY POPULAR MEANS OF ASSESSING BUILDINGS IN POLAND best Polish offices amongst the best in Europe, the target is to achieve BREEAM 'very good' standard for all new office buildings. An office building which receives a BREEAM certificate typically has lower operating costs, secured asset value that avoids “brown stigma” and is healthier and safer for occupants, compared with a regular office building. As well as the building itself being certified during design and construction it is increasingly expected that the building will be managed according to sustainable criteria to protect its classification status. As such certification against BREEAM In Use Parts 1 & 2 should now be expected for actively managed assets (see B20). © 2016 RolfeJudd Judd MOSP 2016 © CBRE sp. zCBRE o.o. -&Rolfe 63 GRAFFIT OFFICE HINES WARSAW ROLFE JUDD 64 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 65 B20 SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A BUILDING (AD) OVERVIEW The sustainable credentials of a building not only relates to how it was designed and constructed but also in a large part as to how it is operated and managed. Both of the certification organizations, LEED and BREEAM, have schemes that directly address how a building is operated and managed and the particulars of the schemes can be found on their web site. A summary of the schemes at the time of writing is given below. A) LEED LEED has a scheme dedicated to how a building is used and managed called “Building Operations and Maintenance” scheme. The scheme applies to existing buildings where little or no construction work is ongoing and considers the following aspects on a weighted basis in relation to certifying a building: 66 • Location and Transportation • Sustainable Sites – Property Management • Water Efficiency © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd THE SUSTAINABLE CREDENTIALS OF A BUILDING NOT ONLY RELATES TO HOW IT WAS DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED BUT ALSO IN A LARGE PART AS TO HOW IT IS OPERATED AND MANAGED. • Energy & Atmosphere • Materials & Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality • Innovation B) BREEAM BREEAM has a scheme dedicated to how a building is used and managed called “BREEAM In Use International”. The scheme applies to existing buildings and considers how the asset is managed and run. The scheme is comprised of 3 parts and any of them can be selected for certification. There is also the possibility to certify parts 1 and 2 jointly. Part 1 – Asset Performance Part 2 – Building Management Performance Part 3 – Occupier Management For the purposes of classifying a building parts 1 and/or 2 are applicable. Part 3 is typically considered by tenant occupiers.

Many standards have been adopted by developers and other industry players but none of them have been agreed as a market standard. It makes it difficult to assess what the net to gross ratio of a particular building is, thus making it difficult to compare them. 24% - THE POTENTIAL VARIANCE IN THE AREA OF A BUILDING MEASURED BY DIFFERENT STANDARD (IPMS) In Poland the following standards are currently in use: a) The Polish Standard PN-70/B02365 (one of two Polish standards in *5 measuring areas and volume of the building. It is used in procedures defined in Building Law for existing buildings): • Specifies how to measure: Total Area, Structure Area, Net Area, Circulation Area, Service Area, Usage Area (Main and Auxiliary) • Areas to be measured between unfinished surface of walls / structure elements (without lining, plaster, tiles etc.) at 1.0m above floor level b) The Polish Standard PN-ISO 9836–1997 (one of two Polish standards *6 in measuring areas and volume of the building. It is used in procedures defined in Building Law for newly constructed buildings): • Specifies how to measure: Total Floor Area, Internal Floor Area, Net Floor Area, Circulation Area, Service Area, Usage Area (Main and Auxiliary), Building Envelope Area • Areas to be measured between plastered surface of walls / structure elements at floor height © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 73 c) GIF Lettable Area of Commercial Spaces Measuring Directive Established by Society of Property Researchers in Germany and specifies Building Lettable Area (this method is related to the German Standard DIN 277): • Measurement to be taken at floor height • Describes which areas shall be determined as lettable area exclusively dedicated for tenants and defined as common lettable area • Describes which areas are not to be taken into account as lettable area: service use, stair flights, ramps, landings between floors, lift shafts, vehicle communication areas, escape routes and stairs, atria, structural walls and columns, risers d) TEGOVA Standard Specifies how to measure Building Lettable Area (this method does not comply with either of the Polish Standards. It is used to calculate lettable office area for property researching purposes only): • Measurement to be taken at 1.5m • The area to be measured between internal surfaces of external building walls or in case more than 50% of the external facade is glazed between the glazed surfaces • The area between the tenants to be calculated in the centre line of the division wall separating the tenants premises / or to the centre line of opening in structural wall • Describes which areas shall be determined as lettable area exclusively dedicated for tenant: hydrants, electrical distribution boards, kitchenettes and toilets, if dedicated for tenant • Describes which areas shall be determined as lettable common area: entrance halls, corridors, toilets, lift lobbies, security rooms etc. • Describes which areas are not to be taken into account as lettable area: internal structural walls and shafts, plant rooms etc. THE RICS AND MANY OTHER ORGANISATIONS ARE LAUNCHING THE IPMS (INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MEASUREMENT STANDARD) TO OVERCOME THE MANY STANDARDS USED IN THE MARKET – POLAND IS NO EXCEPTION. 74 © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd e) BOMA Standard Established by the U.S. Building Owners And Managers Association (BOMA) (this method is used to calculate lease area for rental purposes only): • The Boma Lease Measurement • Usable Area is the actual occupied area of a floor or an office suite • The Boma Lease Measurement Floor • Rentable Area - the tenant's pro-rata portion of the entire office floor, excluding elements of the building that penetrate through the floor to areas below. • Boma Lease Measurement Building Common Area - includes those areas of a building that are used to provide services to building tenants, but which are not included in the office area of any specific tenant. • It also includes any associated common areas and is applied to the Floor Rentable Area to calculate the Rentable Area. • Boma Lease Measurement Load Factor - the percentage of space on a floor that is not usable plus a pro-rata share of the Building Common Area, expressed as a percent of Usable Area (also known as the Common Area Factor, the Loss Factor, the Add-on Factor). www.boma.org f) RICS Standard Established by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and intended for use in the UK, however in Poland used by UK origin developers & consultants. Provides definitions for accurate measurement of buildings required for valuation, management, conveyancing, planning, taxation, sale, letting, or acquisition purposes. • Gross External Area - the area of a building measured externally at each floor level, suitable for town planning, rating and council tax, building cost estimation purposes. • Gross Internal Area - the area of a building measured to the internal face of the perimeter walls at each floor level, suitable for estate agency & valuation, property management purposes. • Net Internal Area - the usable area within a building measured to the internal face of the perimeter walls at each floor level, suitable for rating, estate agency & valuation, property management purposes. www.rics.org © 2016 CBRE & Rolfe Judd 75 WARSAW SPIRE GHELAMCO WARSAW 76 © 20162016 CBRE & Rolfe MOSP CBRE sp.
